Tottenham Hotspur are stepping up their efforts to secure the signing of Nigerian international striker Victor Osimhen for around £55 million. Since the sale of Harry Kane, the London club has struggled to fill the gap left in their attack, resulting in a lack of goals and underwhelming performances last season.
Tottenham, under the leadership of Roberto De Zerbi, have been active in the transfer market this summer, and now appear to be focusing on Osimhen, who has impressed with his performances at Galatasaray. According to transfer expert Ekrem Konur, Tottenham made an initial offer between £50 million and £55 million, but the Turkish champions expect a sale closer to £65 million. This difference in value is common in current negotiations and could be decisive in the completion of the deal.
Osimhen, who had an impressive season scoring 22 goals and providing 8 assists in the 2025/26 season, perfectly fits the profile of player De Zerbi is looking for in the #9 position. His ability to consistently score goals makes him an attractive target, not only for Spurs, but also for other renowned clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Atlético de Madrid, who are also keeping an eye on his situation.
Pressure is mounting on Tottenham to resolve the striker issue before the start of the new season. With competition intensifying, the need to act quickly is becoming evident. The acquisition of Osimhen could represent a major boost for the team, not only to increase their finishing ability but also to restore fan confidence after a disappointing season.
